Listeria in Hot Dogs Prompts Recall

By Pritzker | Ruohonen

ADVERTISEMENTS

More than 28,000 pounds of hot dogs made in Alabama are being recalled by the manufacturer after regulatory testing found the meat products could be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The recall was announced Saturday, Nov. 8, by the USDA's Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) after the problem was discovered by the Georgia State Department of Agriculture. The FSIS said it has not received any reports of illnesses associated with consumption of the hot dogs, which were made Sept. 22 by R.L. Zeigler Co. Inc. of Selma

According to the USDA, the packages were sold to wholesale and retail outlets in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee. 

Listeria monocytogenes is bacteria that  can cause serious, sometimes fatal infections in infants, the elderly and those with weak immune systems. Listeriosis in pregnant woman  can cause miscarriage and  stillbirths.

The recall covers certain packages of Zeigler brand hot dogs, skinless weiners, jumbo franks and "par-ti pups.''

A complete list of the recalled items, including packaging codes, is listed on the FSIS website.
